IllnessGTA Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The Skycrane looks like a very cool helicopter and when I saw it in pictures and the videos, I was happy and dreaming that you could ride it and get vehicles to drop from buildings. When I found it wasn't usable, I was really pissed off. Also, you see one parked behind Luis in the 2nd trailer but there isn't even a mission or side mission like that! But in the APC mission where you need to shoot it from the Skycrane, you can clearly see someone driving it and I was wondering if you could shoot down the pilot and steal the vehicle. Someone said they tried and nearly got hold of it and I was thinking that it should be drivable because you don't just see it in cut scenes but when you are playing. Another thing. Where the hell is the Swift? I've only been able to ride it in missions but there are none in free roam.

simonp92 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I dont know about the skycrane. but the swift should be on the helipad near the westriver in the beginning of the game. but when you are done it is replaced with the Buzzard.

Cheat Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Swift: Click here to view the SnapMap for the helipad. Yes, it's there until the completion of the story, but you can get it like this: 1. Replay/Play the mission '..Blog This!' 2. When you get to the Swift, fly it into a savepoint in the front of your house 3. Kill yo self. 4. Leave the hospital and now the Swift is saved in your save slot and Tony and The Celebrinator are gone, easy peasy.

XTREME0235 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I highly doubt the Skycrane idea would work as the windows are indestructable, therefore you cn't shoot throught them, not to mention you would need good aiming and timing to shoot.

Chewie Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Maybe Rockstar will release a patch so we can use the Skycrane? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433519-as-anyone-been-able-to-get-hold-of-a-skycrane/#findComment-1059650360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllnessGTA Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 has anyone tried using the explosive sniper cheat and blowing it up? you can't use the cheat in the mission so i tried two different ideas; i landed the swift on a building and spawned a buzzard so when the vehicle came close i went in and started shooting it but my rockets couldn't hit it. i then did another plan, to get out of the helicopter in a building and shoot it with the rocket launcher. rockets go straight through the skycrane!

If we're talking about Caught With Your Pants Down, I sniped the pilot of the Skycrane. The helicopter spun down and crashed. So it's definitely interactable. I did try several rockets, all to no effect.

Dvt-MedShot Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) The Skylift is not obtainable. It's still in the handling files and was in the game, but not anymore.

LCstuntman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Yeah, theres no way were getting the Skylift. I was trying the mission "Caught With Your Pants Down", the one where you steal the APC from the Skylift. If you shoot down the Skylift with an RPG, a message pops up "The Skylift has been destroyed", and you can see it falling for about 3 seconds, then a cutscene shows Yusuf landing his Swift at the helitours place with Luis in the heli. If you kill Yusuf before you shoot it down, after you shoot it down it just cuts to a short loading screen, and then its just Luis standing at the helitours place. Looks like R* really didn't want us to fly it. I'm off to mess around with the other mission its in, "For The Man Who Has Everything". After the mission is over, you see Yusuf flying away. I'm gonna try to put the explosive sniper cheat in and snipe him down before he disappears. Wish me luck! EDIT: Nope, he takes off way too fast. Damn!

Zee_Lolz Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 For the skylift Wrong mission first of all, and second of all, you can get it. you need to have the annihilator cheat and some weapons. you basically finish the mission, Watch the cutscene, and then when luis stops doing his g*y wave, spawn the annihilator, follow him, and snipe him. for more details, go to my topic on the subject. for the swift either get it at the gold buzzard helipad before you beat the game, or get it during the club management mission that has it.

TGMOS Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 On the mission "...Blog This!" you don't even need to kill yourself.Just kill Tony and the Celebranator before even getting into the Swift. Tony has tons of health so use a good non explosive gun. If either one of them is left alive though it'll go to a cutscene.
